Hi all! Sorry for my delayed absence. I’ve had a few personal things pop up that I had to take care of. I’m well aware that owe you all some prizes! I hosted two giveaways in the past few months (one for the OUT FROM UNDER YOU blog tour and one for the CAUGHT UP IN YOU cover reveal!) I’m posting both giveaway widgets here with the winners! I’ll also email the winners to send you your prizes!

WAHOOO!!! My new novella, CAUGHT UP IN YOU, told from Bartender Blake’s point of view is now LIVE on Kindle and Nook for only 99 cents!

This was not a story I intended to write. That is, until I saw the fan reaction to Blake’s character in OUT FROM UNDER YOU. For many, he was a favorite! That’s when I knew that I had to explore him deeper. So I decided to write a short story from his perspective. And DAMN, did I have fun doing it! Blake came alive to me in the writing of this book. He was funny, sarcastic, witty, and so deliciously flirty! I fell in love with him. So THANK YOU to all the fans who expressed their love for him early on. Otherwise, I may never have gotten to spend this time with him!

What the WHAT!??? I can’t believe CAUGHT UP IN YOU, my new Smart Girls Finish First novella releases in only 4 days!!! How is this possible?

In case you’re as impatient as I am right now, I thought I’d send you off into the weekend with a fun new snippet from the novella. Are you ready?

Remember, this book is from bartender Blake’s POV.

Okay, here we go….

She didn’t blink. Her eyes stayed locked into mine and, like a small zap of electricity, I felt the shift.

The fall.

After seducing enough women, you just start to know when you’ve succeeded.

When the race is won. There’s a tipping point. A precipice. And you can feel when they collapse over the edge of it.

Some women—like Lia—fight so hard and for so long to stay on that edge. They dig in their heels and scrape their fingernails against the dirt, like they’re hanging on for dear life.

Other women are willing to jump over the edge the second you say their name with any amount of urgency.

But I could feel the moment Lia slipped. And I was so desperate to keep her on my side of the divide, so determined to make sure she didn’t manage to crawl back to her safe zone, I barely even noticed the third person who’d appeared at the side of the booth.

I was putting the finishing touches on CAUGHT UP IN YOU today (the novella from Blake’s POV) and I thought I’d share a fun snippet from one of my favorite scenes. God, Blake is SO much fun to write!

So…without further ado, here you go…

“So,” Lia said, breaking me out of my reverie. “What is your deal?”

I laughed. “My deal?”

She nodded. “Your deal.”

I couldn’t be sure but I swore I heard her voice slur slightly on the last word. My hopes instantly rose. Tipsy Lia would be a lot more willing to take clothes off than sober Lia. That I could be sure of.

“I don’t have a deal,” I insisted.

She squinted. “Oh, you so have a deal. All guys like you have a deal.”

“How many times are we going to say the word deal? Should we turn it into a drinking game? Make things interesting?” I flagged down the waitress and ordered a Jack and Coke. Lia asked for the same.

“Do you always drink Jack and Coke?” I asked.

She shrugged. “Maybe.”

I laughed. “Are you trying to be mysterious?”

Her eyes twinkled. “Maybe.”
